1. Used a 1/2" handheld belt sander to smooth out the transitions of the carbon fiber shims on the inside of the canopy skirt. 2. My friend Jim came over and assisted me with getting the skirt clecoed in place to check the shim thicknesses. I identified a few more places where the shims needed to be built up with a few more plies. 3. We also removed the canopy, then I drilled out the 10 retention rivets, and we separated the canopy from the frame. 4. Drilled and tapped all the screw holes in the canopy frame. I used a 7/32" drill and a 6-40 tap for all the holes that will attach the plexiglas bubble, and a 6-32 tap for all the skirt-only screws. (There were two holes in the frame that were already oversize and/or slightly goobered up, and I drilled and tapped them to 8-32. 5. Cut more carbon fiber shims and bonded at least two plies to each of the desired locations on the skirt.
